Tasting Notes

the 1990 Cabernet/Shiraz Bin 90A is another impressive wine. While I preferred the Bin 707, the Bin 90A is an outstanding wine with a deep, saturated ruby/purple color, and a smoky, roasted herb, blackcurrant, jammy-scented nose. Thick, rich, and full-bodied, with elevated tannin, this spicy, boldly-styled wine will drink well for 15-20 years

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (110), April 1997

Depp crimson. Intense fresh dark chocolate/malty aromas with a touch of cigar box. The palate is beautifully concerntrated and balanced with chocolate malt characters, mocha/grilled nut/sousbois complexity, plenty of sweet fruit and lacy fine tannins. A supurb wine.
